Gourmet F1

Gourmet F1 will amaze you with its taste, texture, sweetness and aroma. In order to make your home garden melon a success, our breeders gave Gourmet earliness, resistance to PMR and some tolerance to Fusarium.

Intermediate shelf life. It holds better than muskmelons, but is not as hard as a cantaloupe. Gourmet should be picked immediately upon ripening. It ripens very quickly and early in the season, long before other melons.

Days to maturity: 75 to 80 days

Size:  6" X 7" ~ 3 to 4 pounds.

Rind:  Sparse, distinctive netting over green and orange skin.

Interior: Creamy white flesh.

Flesh characteristics: Sweet and delicious.  Results depend on growing conditions, but here in Colorado we usually have 15 to 17% sugar. 

Shelf life: Intermediate between muskmelon and cantaloupe.
